Apart from playing Hulk in the MCU, another thing that Mark Ruffalo excels at, is spoilers. Previously the actor shed light on his involvement in the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World, but new reports have emerged stating that Ruffalo misspoke and won’t appear in Anthony Mackie’s film.
If you’re waiting for Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk/Bruce Banner to flaunt his powers in Captain America: Brave New World, then we’d suggest you not to because he’s reportedly not appearing in the upcoming film. Despite the actor’s previous words about his role in Mackie’s film, the actor is claimed to have misspoken.
Mark Ruffalo Will Not Appear in Captain America: Brave New World: He Previously Misspoke
After making us excited about his appearance in the Anthony Mackie-led film Captain America: Brave New World, turns out that Mark Ruffalo misspoke, and he’s reportedly not a part of the upcoming film. Yes, you read it right. According to Variety, when the Shutter Island star said he’s allowed to speak about the film “It’s going to be great!”, it didn’t actually mean he was returning as Hulk.
However, not to forget that it was Mark Ruffalo who spoiled the ending of Avengers: Endgame in April 2019, and considering that, fans are speculating that due to his oversharing, it is being claimed that the Zodiac star isn’t reprising his iconic role.

Many fans still believe Mark Ruffalo’s involvement in Captain America: Brave New World, whereas reports are suggesting he’s not. However, one sure thing is the anticipation for Mackie’s film. Since fans are skeptical about Hulk, these doubts will only be cleared after the film is released.
Captain America: Brave New World is directed by Julius Onah, and will feature Sam Wilson taking the superhero mantle following Chris Evans’ departure from the iconic role. Onah told Collider that Sam is an “incredibly powerful character in the MCU” and his transformations from a counselor, as an ex-Army vet, to a Falcon, to Captain America, make his journey more intriguing.
Mark Ruffalo is Enthusiastic About a Hulk Standalone Film
Considering Mark Ruffalo’s history with spoilers, Marvel asked him not to share any updates regarding a Hulk standalone film. But since he was asked about it, how can Ruffalo not say anything? Well, the Now You See Me actor didn’t conform to any upcoming project, but he definitely revealed being enthusiastic about it.
According to Comicbook.com, Mark Ruffalo said:
“Not that I know of… I’ve been asked not to comment on it, that specifically. Hopefully, one day though they’ll work it out. I think it could be really cool and I’ve been putting a lot into what it could be to be cool, but I don’t know yet.”
While the Thor Ragnarok star is asked to remain secretive about a Hulk standalone movie, there might be some discussions about the project. However, Marvel is already working on some of its highly anticipated films, which are expected to revive the province of MCU characters and projects.
Captain America: Brave New World arrives on February 14, 2025.
